The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 142 Yu Baishuo’s Invitation_1

After lunch, Han Mei and Tian Yue’e both left.

Taking advantage of the fact that Li Qing hadn’t started collecting the Wenguan Leaves that Shi Liang had ordered, Tian Yue’e planned to tend to the vegetables in her greenhouse, while Han Mei was going to collect the Wenguan Leaves she had promised to several households.

In short, each of them was busy with their own things, bustling about energetically.

By comparison, Li Qing seemed to have it a bit easier.

Because he had to deliver goods to the county town in the afternoon, Li Qing didn’t help Han Mei and Tian Yue’e.

He rested for a bit after lunch, then called for Gao Li and sent the Wenguan Leaves they had collected in the morning to the county town.

In these past few days, the amount of Wenguan Leaves Li Qing could collect had basically stabilized.

It was always around eighty or ninety jin.

A difference of ten or twenty yuan per jin meant that Li Qing’s net profit for the past couple of days had basically been maintained around eight or nine thousand yuan.

This was an income Li Qing had never even dared to dream of before.

But such a situation was definitely not going to last long.

He guessed that in no more than ten days, the quantity of Wenguan Leaves would definitely plummet.

There were only so many Wenguan Trees in the mountains; it was impossible to keep picking leaves continuously.

But even so, Li Qing was very satisfied.

With this wave, he should be able to earn his first hundred thousand yuan.

The three-wheeled motorcycle stopped outside Yu Baishuo’s warehouse.

Li Qing asked Gao Li to wait for a while, and he went in alone carrying the Wenguan Leaves.

In front of the very simple, even somewhat dated desk, Yu Baishuo was dozing with her arm as a pillow.

The collar of her silk blouse was slightly open, and the misshapen white mass pressed by it was peeking out.

Li Qing tiptoed quietly and took a careful look.

"Your drool is about to fall," Li Qing gently patted Yu Baishuo’s arm.

"Hm?" Yu Baishuo mumbled, opened her eyes in a daze, and quickly wiped the corner of her mouth.

Li Qing’s gaze froze for a moment.

Only when Yu Baishuo got up did he realize that the buttons on her blouse were completely undone.

She was wearing a tank top underneath, which tightly hugged those two mounds and her slender waist.

That near-perfect figure was sketched out in revealing detail by the tank top.

The edge of the tank top was pressed just in the middle of the white mass, exposing a large expanse of smooth skin and a deep ravine. If Li Qing looked down just a little further, he would be able to see those two little soybeans.

"Why did you come so late today?" Yu Baishuo’s face was a bit flushed as she quietly closed her blouse.

"Didn’t I tell you this morning? I got tangled up with an enemy of mine who doesn’t get along with me," Li Qing said as he put the Wenguan Leaves on the scale, "With this batch delivered today, it should exceed three hundred jin."

"Let me see!" Yu Baishuo flipped open a notebook on the side, glanced at the number on the scale, and said, "Including today’s, it’s three hundred and seventy jin. I need to calculate your payment at a different rate."

"I’m quite curious, where did you get so many Wenguan Leaves from?"

"Do you consider this a lot?" Li Qing was a little surprised.

"It’s quite a lot. It’s not easy to get a few hundred jin of such fine and tender leaves," Yu Baishuo said.

Li Qing smiled and said, "Maybe it’s because you haven’t gone to the mountains to collect them yourself."

"The mountains, you mean wild ones?" Yu Baishuo asked, getting straight to the point.

Li Qing nodded.

"It’s only right that you make money from this. Getting in and out of the mountains is not easy, whether it’s for the locals or outsiders. Looks like you’ve got the first taste of the crab," Yu Baishuo said with a warm smile. "Let me calculate the money for you."

Li Qing didn’t quite understand the bigger implications of this business deal.

But what was timely was that he knew where to find the Wenguan Trees.

The only issue now was that the price difference had gone from ten to twenty, which left Li Qing feeling a bit uneasy.

He thought that he should perhaps increase the payment to the villagers a bit more to make this business last longer.

"Today’s total is ninety-four kilograms. Let’s round it up, so twenty-four kilograms at forty each, and seventy kilograms at fifty each," Yu Baishuo said while rapidly tapping on the calculator. "That comes to a total of forty-four thousand six hundred yuan."

"The money you’re taking from me is increasing by the day. It hurts to see it go. Wait a moment, I’ll go get it for you!"

Yu Baishuo swayed her full hips as she went upstairs.

Li Qing couldn’t help but clench his fist tightly. Today’s profit had crossed ten thousand. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

The taste of this first crab was indeed good, indisputably so.

"Here you go, count it yourself," Yu Baishuo said as she came downstairs and handed the money to Li Qing.

After roughly counting it, Li Qing smiled and asked, "Sister Yu, I remember you saying something before."

"Wasn’t it something like doing something special if it exceeded three hundred kilograms?"

Yu Baishuo crossed her arms in front of her and looked at Li Qing with a teasing smile, "Are you coming with me tonight?"

"You... really?" This time, it was Li Qing who felt a bit timid.

Yu Baishuo tossed her hair, the corners of her mouth harboring a smile, and said, "Of course it’s real. Come with me, I’ll fulfill that little wish of yours. There’s a gathering tonight. I’ll take you to meet some people in the industry, get some insight."

"After dinner, we’ll find a place to have fun, and then..."

Yu Baishuo didn’t finish her sentence, but her implication couldn’t have been clearer.

Especially when her suggestive gaze fell on Li Qing’s crotch and lingered there, the meaning was all too obvious.

The no longer naïve Li Qing actually blushed from her stare.

He covered himself with his hand, saying awkwardly, "Sister, I was... just kidding."

"The words may be a joke, but the desire is real," Yu Baishuo seemed to see right through Li Qing’s thoughts. "Let’s go. Even if you hadn’t reminded me just now, I was going to tell you about it anyway. Let’s go out for dinner tonight."

"A meal, a few drinks, it’s not out of the question with me, you know?"

Li Qing was actually quite tempted.

But his acquaintance with Yu Baishuo wasn’t that long, and the fact that the joke suddenly turned serious made him feel uncertain.

"Sister, around what time will it end?" Li Qing asked.

He was fine with dinner, but anything beyond that, he was not daring enough to contemplate.

"Eating, singing, it will probably be around two in the morning," Yu Baishuo replied.

"Two o’clock? That’s quite late. I’ll pass," Li Qing shook his head, declining Yu Baishuo’s kind offer.

He had plans to visit Yu Lan’s house that evening.

"Little brother, without a little wine, where’s the chance for a man? You’ve got to seize it," Yu Baishuo giggled.

Li Qing felt awkward, "Sister Yu, it’s just that I have other plans tonight."

"Oh, I see. Maybe some other time then, I’ll invite you out myself," Yu Baishuo said with a hint of disappointment.

"I usually keep my word, but you can’t just skip straight ahead without any preliminaries, you understand?" She said coyly, winking at Li Qing.
